PORT TOWNSEND — Her fourth and final attacker sentenced to prison, Linda LeBrane says she is ready to finish the psychological healing process.
“Hopefully the dreams of terror will stop,” she said back home in Port Townsend on Monday.
“Well, they’re going to stop,” she said firmly, “because I won’t have to keep telling this story on the witness stand.”
LeBrane was called to the Canyon County, Idaho, witness stand 12 times to testify in the trials and sentencings of the four people who attacked her after forcing her off Interstate 84 near Sand Hollow, Idaho, early June 15, 2000.
LeBrane told police that three men and one woman stabbed her, beat her, cut her throat and set her car on fire.
The fourth and final attacker to be sentenced, Sarah Kathleen Pearce of Caldwell, Idaho, was handed at least 15 years in prison Friday.
